Mgear Rig controls not working

Hi, first post here,I’m having some trouble when animating a Mgear Rig first pose works great, but when I move to another in the timeline the Ik arms are not responding,as well as some parts of the rig as Cog,ears and tongue I activated maximum strecht on the channel box but rig is not responding,my Mgear installation is ok ,I’m using maya 2023.3 by the way…,I have tryed all changing from paralell to DG and trying reference vs import and all kind of things,but still having issues,the strange thing is only happening in my computer for other people is working fine,any clue what could be?,I actualized Pymel with the last version ,could it be some kind of interference because I had previously installed Mgear in Maya 2024?!

  • Is it jumping around randomly? Maybe you have a dependency cycle?
  • Are your key settings set to key the hierarchy? Maybe you are keying things in the rig that aren’t supposed to be keyed. Go in the outliner and check if some of the non-controls have keys on them.
  • If you send your broken scene to someone else where it works for them, does your scene work for them or is it broken in the same way? That might indicate if it’s a problem with the rig, or your computer, or a problem with your workflow or settings.

That’s all I can think of.

Maybe is the option “preserve children” in transform tool ? it is happening when you move? that some controls don’t move other elements?

Thanks a lot for the help everyone, I reset many times settings to default and start from scratch with a new scene without any keys, preserve children was ticked off already, yes when I rotate o move some controls the mesh is not responding or sometimes responds and comes back to previous position maybe its overstretched but I added maximum stretch anyway, like I said first pose was working fine but after a while it starts to get slow and not responding, could it be that the rig its kind of heavy (anyway was “cleaned”) and a bit old not updated to then new Mgear…?cause other Mgear rigs where working perfectly as spiderman

-Also I sent the scene to another person and it was happening the same for them ik arms and other controls not working but when they open a fresh rig the rig was working properly for them

Yes, I think it might be that ,my bad I might have selected hierarchy and keyed something that I shouldn’t at the moment is working fine, thanks a lot for the help
